Here’s some news on more tweaking from WhatsApp, and this time around it is a newly revamped Settings page. As pointed out by AndroidPolice, the update that will be made available as version 2.12.506, is not officially rolled out yet. However, one can go ahead and download an apk from APKMirror. Besides, Google also lets you get the new version on becoming a part of the Google Play beta programme. So, the revamped Settings page brings some changes to the sequence of the options. For example, the profile option is moved right to the top and one will also see the profile photo in a round frame. Earlier Help was on top, followed by Profile.
The list now includes the Data Usage option allowing users to control the type of files the app can download over Wi-Fi, mobile data, or even when on roaming. Chats and calls have been changed to only ‘Chats’ and now comes under Data usage. The payment option is gone away completely. Needless to say, WhatsApp is now free for all, making the option redundant. It was just recently that WhatsApp introduced a big update, allowing users to share documents. Users who update to version 2.12.453 for Android and 2.12.14 on iOS will see the sharing option. For now however, there is this one tiny issue. The receiver (your friend) should also have the updated version installed in order to receive the said document on their device. The popular messaging app had also announced to include end-to-end encryption.
The Data Usage feature will enable users to manually control the apps and files to be downloaded when on Wi-Fi and protects the mobile data from draining. Go ahead n get yourself the new build and let us know your take on it through the comments section below.
